Pickled Fish Recipe 2 Provided by Audrey Gunderson – February, 2004

Make up brine by mixing water and enough pickling salt to float an egg. Put cut up pieces of fish in brine mixture and let soak in the refrigerator for 48 hours (I use a 5 qt. Ice cream pail). Discard the brine mixture and cover the fish with Heinz White Vinegar and let soak in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Cut fish into bite sized pieces. Soak fish in canning or pickling salt water for 48 hours in refrigerator. Salt water should be strong enough to float an egg. Drain and discard salt water then cover with white vinegar. Soak for 24 hours then drain and discard vinegar.
